Come together to listen, learn, and brainstorm with community members about how we can end Mandatory Bindover in Ohio.

About Mandatory Bindover

In Ohio, juvenile court judges must transfer certain youth under the age of 18 to the adult court system if they are charged with — not convicted of — certain offenses. In Fiscal Year 2016, 168 youth were bound over to adult court. We are working with partners across the state to eliminate mandatory bindovers.
